#shorts MIT researchers have discovered that tactile stimulation at a frequency of 40 Hz can reduce the symptoms and pathology of Alzheimer’s disease. Building on previous studies involving light and sound, the research demonstrated that daily exposure to 40 Hz vibrations improved brain health and motor function in mice, as well as reduced key markers of Alzheimer’s disease. The findings suggest that gamma frequency stimulation has the potential to be a new therapeutic approach for Alzheimer’s disease. Tactile stimulation enhanced motor performance, decreased phosphorylated tau, preserved neurons and synapses, and reduced DNA damage. The study highlights the efficacy of non-invasive sensory stimulation as a strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases.
